Excellent service and outstanding tour

5/5

I had an extra day in Johannesburg before going on safari in Botswana and Zimbabwe and decided to contact David based on his reviews on Safaribookings. I also contacted a competitor and David got back to me much quicker with several options for a day of birdwatching in Johannesburg. I was very pleased with his quick response time and the various options he provided. He came to pick me up at my hotel and we drove in his very comfortable van to Marievale birding reserve, where we were able to enjoy a number of different hides in the reserve. We were there on a weekday so there were very few other visitors. After a lovely lunch we then went to the Walter Sisulu Botanical Garden, where we were able to walk around the beautiful garden and see a number of different species of birds. David was very interesting to talk to about South Africa politics as well, and we spent a really nice day together. I would highly recommend him and although we did not do one of his more historical or cultural tours I am confident that those are excellent as well.In addition, I felt that David's tour was very fairly priced compared to others in the area.

Exceptional Service & Thoughtful Planning – Highly Recommend David!

5/5

We had an amazing experience working with David from Ukhozi Tours. From the very beginning, he was incredibly professional, responsive, and attentive to our needs. He crafted a well-thought-out itinerary tailored to our interests, providing us with detailed insights and thoughtful suggestions along the way.

Although we couldn’t finalize our trip with him due to scheduling conflicts, his patience, expertise, and friendly attitude truly impressed us. We have no doubt that he would provide an exceptional safari experience, and we will definitely reach out to him for any future trips.

If you're looking for a knowledgeable and passionate guide, we highly recommend David and his team!

An Unforgettable 12-Day Photo Safari with David: Exceptional Guide and Photography Mentor

5/5

David and I went on a 12 day photo safari in the Kruger National Park and 3 private game reserves. It was a wonderful experience that I wholeheartedly recommend!

David worked with me to craft a good itinerary that fit my taste and then went above and beyond to make it happen. We overcame a silly incident with my visa being initially denied and the whole trip postponed, and even a serious pneumonia that kept him in hospital!

The complex itinerary was a challenge (we traveled almost every day between lodges), but David never missed a step, we were always punctual without ever being in a hurry.

A very special highlight for me was the photography mentoring. David's decades of experience as a cinematographer and photographer make him a very knowledgeable teacher, and I was able to achieve photos that make me proud and are on a new level for me (and, dare I say, are really good in general!)

David is a great tracker and field guide, able to spot any bird or animal in the bush, identify it and talk about it.

He's also just a very interesting human being, knowledgeable on many subjects, ready to speak with passion about his beloved South Africa or any other topics.

I plan to book David again for adventures in the wild but also for an art tour, a scenic tour, or maybe other tours from his portfolio.

Flexible & Knowledgeable

5/5

David was very easy to communicate with during the booking process. He really listened to what I wanted to do and tailored the 2 tours around that. On the day he was knowledgeable & good company. I enjoyed our conversations and hearing about his experiences. Everything went smoothly & I enjoyed both tours. He was very flexible & that ensured that I was able to get as much out of my limited time as possible. Thanks David! No highly recommended.
